Welcome the Sony’s new laptop introduction with Vaio X. It is touted to be the the lightest in its class at 1.6 pounds in total weight and measures 7.29 inches by 10.95 inches by 0.55 inches. It has an amazing thinness of merely half an inch.

Vaio X is marketed as an ultra-portable laptop with a hefty price of $1,300. Buyers would get all the convenience for that reasonably higher than market pricing.

The touchpad offers multitouch functionality, allowing you to use finger gestures to zoom, rotate items, and scroll. The LED-backlit screen measures 11.1 inches (diagonal) and has a resolution of 1,366 by 768. The keyboard has a 17-mm key pitch.

The X Series features a 2-GHz Intel processor, 2 GB of DDR2 memory, an inte-grated Intel graphics chipset, and a 128-GB solid state drive. The system features a multimedia card reader, two USB 2.0 ports, and an Ethernet port, as well as a built-in webcam with face-tracking technology. Wireless capability includes 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The X Series lines also comes with 3G mobile broadband built in, though you’ll have to get a separate Verizon Wireless subscrip-tion to use it. Interestingly enough, the X Series also comes with real-time GPS functionality.

All models feature both VGA and HDMI outputs, however there are two graphics options, one is a NVIDIA GeForce GT230M 512MB and the other is for the NVIDIA GeForce GT210M 256MB.

Other things worth mentioning include three USB 2.0 ports, an ExpressCard 34 slot, FireWire, memory card slots and a range of colors to choose from which include red, pink, blue, white and black.
